Observations on Odes

Blog Posted by Jeff Kyser: 3/3/2023 7:52:00 PM

I was scanning the entries tonight, lots of good stuff!

just a few reminders of the basic requirements 

  • the subject should be a common, inanimate household object
  • three stanzas, please
  • no more than 30 lines

my baby goat example was that of an ode, but of course not an inanimate household object :-)

I've not judged any yet, so I think you can modify your existing poem without having to remove and re-submit it...

Thanks to all who have written so far, looking forward to,reading these!
